BUCKINGHAM AND See also:NORMANBY, See also:JOHN See also:SHEFFIELD, 1ST See also:DUKE OF (1648-1721) , See also:English statesman and poet, was See also:born on
the 7th of See also:April 1648. He was the son of See also:Edmund, 2nd See also:earl of See also:Mulgrave, and succeeded to that See also:title on his See also:father's See also:death in 1658. At the See also:age of eighteen he joined the See also:fleet, to serve in the first Dutch See also:war; on the renewal of hostilities in 1672 he was See also:present at the See also:battle of Southwold See also:Bay, and in the next See also:year received the command of a See also:ship. He was also made a See also:colonel of See also:infantry, and served for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time under See also:Turenne. In 168o he was put in See also:charge of an expedition sent to relieve the See also:town of See also:Tangier. It was said that he was provided with a rotten ship in the See also:hope that he would not return, but the See also:reason of this abortive See also:plot, if plot there was, is not exactly ascertained. At See also:court he took the See also:side of the duke of See also:York, and helped to bring about See also:Monmouth's disgrace. In 1682 he was dismissed from the court, apparently for putting himself forward as a suitor for the princess See also:Anne, but on the See also:accession of See also:- KING

William as their " rightful and lawful king " against Jacobite attempts, and was consequently dismissed from the privy council. On the accession of Anne, with whom he was a See also:personal favourite, he became lord privy See also:seal and lord-See also:lieutenant of the See also:North See also:Riding of See also:Yorkshire, and in 1703 duke of Buckingham and Normanby. During the predominance of the Whigs between 1705 and 1710, Buckingham was deprived of his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office as lord privy seal, but in 1710 he was made lord steward, and in 1711 lord See also:president of the council. After the death of Anne he held no See also:state See also:appointment. He died on the 24th of See also:February 1721 at his See also:house in St James's See also:Park, which stood on the site of the present Buckingham See also:Palace. Buckingham was succeeded by his son, Edmund (1716–1735) on whose death the titles became See also:extinct.
Buckingham, who is better known by his inherited titles as Lord Mulgrave, was the author of " An See also:Account of the Revolution " and some other essays, and of numerous poems, among them the See also:Essay on See also:Poetry and the Essay on See also:Satire. It is probable that the Essay on Satire, which attacked many notable persons, " sauntering See also:Charles " amongst others, was circulated in MS. It was often attributed at the time to See also:Dryden, who accordingly suffered a See also:thrashing at the hands of See also:Rochester's bravoes for the reflections it contained upon the earl. Mulgrave was a See also:patron of Dryden, who may possibly have revised it, but was certainly not responsible, although it is commonly printed with his See also:works. Mulgrave adapted See also:Shakespeare's See also:Julius See also:Caesar, breaking it up into two plays, Julius Caesar and See also:Marcus See also:Brutus. He introduced choruses between the acts, two of these being written by See also:Pope, and an incongruous love See also:scene between Brutus and Portia. He was a See also:constant friend and patron of Pope, who expressed a flattering See also:opinion of his Essay on Poetry. This, although smoothly enough written, deals chiefly with commonplaces.
In 1721 Edmund Curls published a pirated edition of his works, and was brought before the See also:bar of the House of Lords for See also:breach of See also:privilege accordingly, An authorized edition under the superintendence of Pope appeared in 1723, but the authorities cut out the " Account of the Revolution " and " The Feast of the Gods " on account of their alleged Jacobite tendencies. These were printed at the See also:Hague in 1727. Pope disingenuously repudiated any knowledge of the contents. Other See also:editions reappeared in 1723, 1726, 1729, 1740 and 1753.
